About me

In 2006 I left my family, friends and the security of a relatively steady editorial job in the Netherlands to move to Sweden, for love. A heartbreak later I’m still around – having crisscrossed like crazy through my new land to make a travel guide book, adding a new career as a language teacher at elementary and lower secondary schools, becoming a freelance Scandinavia correspondent & fixer for Belgian and Dutch media and running the Made by Magmar project together with Polish-born engineer, editor & photographer Magdalena Pezdek. From Sweden I pop across the Baltic Sea, as often as I can, to discover more of the world, alone or in the company of good friends. Interested in doing something creative? Drop me a line and I can jump with you.
